Jets recall Andrew Copp, place Shawn Matthias on IR

Watch as Shawn Matthias leaves the game after suffering a terrible looking knee injury.

The Winnipeg Jets have recalled forward Andrew Copp from the Manitoba Moose, and have placed Shawn Matthias on injured reserve.

Matthias was hurt in Wednesday’s loss to the Washington Capitals.

The 28-year-old got tangled with Capitals defenceman Dmitry Orlov behind the Washington net and had to leave the game with a lower-body injury in the first period.

Copp has five assists in eight games with Manitoba this season. He played in 77 games for the Jets in 2015-16, scoring seven goals and finishing with 13 points.

The Jets drafted the 22-year-old in the fourth round of the 2013 NHL Draft.
